This thanksgiving chicken and stuffing bake is the perfect solution for Thanksgiving when you don’t have the time or need to cook a large turkey. Served with my perfect gravy, it tastes so delicious and comes together quickly and easily!

How are we here already?!

It’s HowSweetEats Thanksgiving week and I’m here to share with you the most delicious, new and exciting recipes for our favorite holiday. 

That’s right! This is totally my favorite holiday. It is like my super bowl, for real. 

This chicken and stuffing bake is extra special because it really can be made any time of year. If you’re ever craving those traditional Thanksgiving smells and tastes, make this! Chicken thighs are browned and placed in a baking dish of my famous stuffing, then baked until done. Drizzle everything with gravy and it.is.fantastic. 

It’s safe to say that I am fully obsessed with this dish. I love making a traditional turkey – I even roast one and smoke one for Thanksgiving – but sometimes we just don’t NEED a giant turkey.

And let’s be real: I’m here for the side dishes on Thanksgiving. When it comes to a plate full of goodness, between the stuffing and mashed potatoes and corn and everything – I can’t even tell the difference between chicken and turkey. In fact, I’d probably prefer chicken. 

So that’s where my chicken and stuffing bake comes in. It’s easy. It doesn’t take forever to prepare or roast. And it makes a manageable amount of food with just a little bit of extra stuffing. Because stuffing is what makes the Thanksgiving meal. I wait all year for it. 

Now, we no longer have to wait all year. You can make this dish in spring or summer if you wish! It’s cute and compact in a little baking dish and it makes everyone so happy. 

Another reason I wanted to share this recipe is because I already have the best traditional turkey recipes that I could ever want. This classic butter herb roasted turkey is absolutely fantastic. I make it every year, no matter what.

I also have a very easy roasted turkey breast recipe too – if you want something scaled down, but not as scaled down as this chicken and stuffing. 

For the rest of the week you’ll find the other dishes to go with this meal! From scalloped corn to sourdough biscuits to sweet potatoes and more. I can’t wait! In the meantime, you can find a lot of my Thanksgiving essentials here, along with all of previous years’ recipes here! (more…)
